Students in the Northampton Area Middle School will participate in an aquatics class in the 7th grade. All students should be prepared with a bathing suit when their rotation begins. Male students need a bathing suit or other appropriate shorts (athletic or mesh shorts, no jeans). Female students need a one piece bathing suit. This link will further explain what an appropriate suit looks like for girls. Bathing Suit Guidelines

Over the course of their rotation, students may be exposed to basic skills and safety, diving, swimming strokes (competitive and survival), and fitness activities.

I look forward to helping all students improve their aquatic knowledge and skills.
Here is a copy of the swimming guidelines given to all students at the start of the rotation. Swimming Guidelines
